Which Disneyland Apps Do You Feel are Must-Haves?

[Mugglemama]

Haven't been to the parks in 4 years. Trying to quickly plan a trip, and don't have a lot of time to figure out an itinerary beforehand like I am accustomed to doing. Wondering if I can rely heavily on Apps for this trip?

Which ones do you all feel are the most useful/reliable?

THANKS!

My experience is limited to the official Disneyland app, but I love it! My dining reservations, photo pass, and ride wait times/FP return times are all conveniently located in one place and I find it's pretty accurate for wait times. Because it's so good for my needs, I haven't wanted for another app.

I've also found the official Disneyland app to be super useful. I have bought park tickets through the app and used it to enter the park on our first day. It's awesome to be able to check wait times (which I've found to be pretty accurate) as well as checking to see which characters are currently meeting where. It also shows the current fast pass return times, and I believe you can make dining reservations with it now (this wasn't available on our last trip).

The official Disneyland App (DISNEYLAND) is the only one I use.

Great, thanks! My 11 year old son (the most amazing helper!) downloaded exactly that app and is thoroughly checking it out as I type this. Thanks again! Abbey - he doesn't see where to find the FP return times...can you explain how to get to that part of the app?

This is the best app! Just click on the ride you want a FP for and it will give further details, including FP info. Have fun!

I use both the DL app and the Lines app. I like the Lines app because in addition to the FP return times and wait times, it lists suggestions for "ride now" or "wait" based on historical wait times. For instance, right now under GRR it lists a 45 minute wait time, a 40 minute estimated wait time, and a suggestion -- "Wait. Lines dropping until 8:30 pm."

Lines is an app by touringplans.com. I don't know if the suggestions are for subscribers only or if they're available to everyone.

If you click on the wait time for the ride, and then click again on the box with the ride's name, it will take you to a page that lists the ride info and the current fast pass return time. I hope that made sense.
